Thank you so much!! I would definitely appreciate your thoughts. As I said I have no experience in activism so my hope on where to take this article is to collate a lot of advice & comments from people who do. I also plan to send some DM's to prominent ppl on Twitter asking for their advice & feedback (if they think it is a useful article).

And yes, good point that another great avenue of effort is self work to undo any sexist programming and live authentic lives & have authentic relationships. I might just mention that briefly but I think it's worth its own article (and I think there are probably already great articles out there on that topic).

Oh yes, one other thought is that of all avenues for activism this one seems unique in terms of the potential number of interested contributors who want to stay anonymous. I wouldn't think twice speaking out publicly against FGM but I am very cautious about gender critical issues. So there is an interesting strategic question of how to organise & take advantage of a large amount of anonymous energy.
